Feature of the holistic approach i think, not a lot of use for that type of specialist. Tho o'connor has been that guy all summer until his collarbone gave and he clearly wasnt in shape today

Both half back lines killed each other which only makes weird sense cos both were shit in earlier games.

idk what encapsulates mayo gaa better, the no show first half at croker, the rifle-under-chin red card, the resurgent display once all hope had died or the chucking it upon realising that the resurgent display had carried us out in actual front
mayo god help us

"The mayo player everyone is raving about is the redeveloped aidan o'shea, always a fielder of note but physically reconditioned over the summer to a cross between longcat and a sherman tank. His fetching of the high ball above a forest of thuggery is rivalled as a sight this year only by his can't-fail method of seeking out opposition defenders to run over on his maraudings."
this fucking guy tho

Like I said, I thought the sending off was harsh. You can let players get away with dumb stuff like that in GAA surely, it wasn't malicious. Kerry that bit cleverer with the ball, I fear Mayo have blown their chance.

sending off was otm according to an ethos that sez you can't react to thuggery like I said I can't ever love gaa because they want skill to be beaten up by village hero bullies at every level of their football

Yeah football has been in a bit of a mess and the steps to sort it out have only added more confusion and lousy refereeing. Then there's the overly defensive safe play, yr Donegals and so on. Great game today though, mainly down to Mayo just saying fuck it and going for it,

no-one really commented on it either. joe brolly talking about how mayo lacked "ruthlessness" which was straight bollocks imo. kerry look fitter and less leggy than mayo over the 2nd half of ET though.

Same every year. Will believe when we are actually tested. Lost the first test to Donegal last year, with the same manager who was incredibly naive on the day.

Gavin out. Pathetic bottler strategy and we still nearly won. We were afraid of losing and played within ourselves, even after we'd basically won it. player for player Dublin should win, if they abandon whatever cagey post-Donegal panic they played with today. Can't be sure of anything tho based on that.

Like what is worse than a manager getting it so wrong one year that that influenced him to go too far the other way and get it wrong the year after. Ref hadn't a breeze how to ref the tackle for either side throughout.
― doing my Objectives, handling some intense stuff (LocalGarda), Sunday, 30 August 2015 20:48 (eight years ago) link
agreed on all that
dub had that, we were out.
can't call replay,both teams poor today and may or may not have a performance in them
ref a funny mix of fussy and laissez faire all round
― deejerk reactions (darraghmac), Sunday, 30 August 2015 21:20 (eight years ago) link
pretty frustrated with how it went to be honest. the moment that keeps coming back to me is when paul flynn attempted a glory point from beside the sideline with 20 yards of space in front of him and brogan or mcmenamin free - we were 6 or 7 up at that stage and it was a point at the very least, could well have been a goal.
dublin were bizarre, no clear strategy but scored nearly every chance they got, whereas mayo missed a lot of good chances, enough to suggest dublin should have let them shoot instead of all those fouls. i honestly felt the ref didn't really know what to do when 2/3 dublin players surrounded a mayo guy, he'd just run into them and fall over and it'd be a free. not saying dublin didn't foul at times, but the anomalous number of free kicks was like it was a rugby match or something in which dublin failed to understand the referee's "interpretation" of the tackling.
i think gavin is a farce by now but i would be fairly confident dublin should win the replay. the main consolation of the draw is that i'm home by chance for the replay and a mate texted me immediately after to offer me a ticket. used to work near croker for literally every game for 7/8 years when i last lived in dublin (8 years ago) so it's been about 17 or 18 years since i got to see a game.
